This was inevitable. AdMob founder and CEO Omar Hamoui has responded to Apple blocking AdMob from the iOS ecosystem. Unsurprisingly, Hamoui isn't particularly amused, claiming that not only is it bad for competition, it will also hurt developers and users alike.

Google's services are covered by terms and conditions just as Apple's are. Saying this is not the case is lying. Google also has clear privacy policies anyone can look up, and they make it ridiculously easy to migrate away from things like Gmail. On top of that - almost all of Google's products are open source, and you can strip out all the Google-specific stuff (see Chromium-Chrome).

This is not possible with Apple's stuff. With Apple, you can't check the source code to see if Apple is telling the truth - you mostly can with Google.

Of course, Google being a company, they must be closely monitored, and luckily, they are. The Street View thing was bad (as I wrote here on OSN), and if criminal intent was there, they better be punished for it.
